“…Thermal imprinting in early stages has a persistent effect on gene expression in subsequent stages (Garcia de la Serrana et al, 2012; Johnston et al, 2009;Jonsson and Jonsson, 2014;Scott and Johnston, 2012), and gene methylation and non-coding RNA have been suggested to contribute to the effect of temperature on developmental plasticity (Bizuayehu et al, 2015;Campos et al, 2014). Evidence has been gathered revealing that the thermal regime during early development can influence the juvenile stress response (Auperin and Geslin, 2008;Varsamos et al, 2006), muscle growth (AlamiDurante et al, 2007;Galloway et al, 1999;Garcia de la Serrana et al, 2012;Johnston et al, 2009;Macqueen et al, 2008;Steinbacher et al, 2011), and the incidence and character of skeletal deformities (Boglione and Costa, 2011). However, little is known about how embryonic or larval temperature regimes affect the ability of fish to cope with temperature changes in adult life.…”
